AT EASE IN ORATORY.
Ex-senator Bruce, of Mississippi, Tells How
He Broke the Barriers.

Ex-senator Bruce, of Mississippi, Tells How
He Broke the Barriers.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
ITO be orator is a thing not half so difficult
to master as some people think it is" said the
Hon. b. & Bruce at the Seventh-avenue Hotel
yesterday. ''Of course don't mean to say"
he continued. that everybody can become a
Gladstone, q Cicero or a Demostheues-those
men are phenomenal. To speak in public is
something which great number of people i'm
agine to be ono of the hardest tasks to accom-
plish, and yet il is very easy. All it requires is
q little bit of nerve. Now jus. let me tell you
my experience as an example.
1T was good many years after had become
some kind of a politician before / could muster
up utticient courage to step to the rostrum and
speak before a congregation OF people / often
thought the matter over. and aso felt that /
had an ambitious vein in that direction. but
was afraid. sometimes was asked to make
speech, but blushingly told everybody that
1 couldn't do it. That excuse carried me
through for a long time. AT last. however, was
tackled for good. There was some kind of a
fair going on down in Mississippi The Gov
ernor was expected in our town, and several
other notables were to be there. My usual
excuse wouldn't work this time About a week
before the time arrived started to write my
speech. had it made up and worded in q most
beautiful style. Then I began to learn it by
heart. 1t was q terrible thing But energy.
perseverance,, and perhaps little pride we'll
as fear, accomplish a great deal. AS soon as I
had succeeded with that started to teach N.Y.
self the gestures 1 stood for hours and hours
before large lookingglass and began to
practice.
'.At last the day arrived. Inwardly mutter-
ing my speech, 1 walked around. If anybody
began to talk to and ask me questions
nearly always had to check myself to avoid
answering with passage of my grafton. When
walked up to the platform felt rather shaky,
but knowing that there getting it.
manfuly pulled myself together. When I
looked around the crowd almost forgot the be-
ginning of my address. But, feeling that it
either meant to die to speak, started off. I
forget now. exactly how, but after / had spoken
for about two minutes the language came to me
as readily and fowinely, it seemed, as if was
inspired / spoke for hour and ten minutes,
but not thought of tho speech that had cost
mo much labor did I utter. When / returned
home put it quietly in the fire, and that was
the only speech ever wrote.o

A Poem by Lew Wallace.

Hsrper's Magazine.
lin his younger days Gen. Lew Wallace was
occasionally given to verse. The following linss,
recently unearthed from some old papers in his
desk, were among his early efforts in that direc-
tiop.
LINES ADDRESSED TO THE LADY WHO BANDAGED
MY CUT FINGER-AN AFTERTHoUGHr.
Twas a little thing, a simple Kindness
Yet cannot pass it by;
The blood-drop from the wound you answered
With tear-drop in your eye.
o lady dear! twas worth a world of thanks
Not the thanks which wait words,
The blund ring syllables that too often
Fly ayniss like blinded birds.
No; but those best told in ling'ring kisses;
And so I would have spoken,
But that another's wedding seal upon
Your lips remains unbroken.
All, the pang Of the lazy afterthought,
Laggard of the next days caim
What if had snatched your hand, and left
kiss in the pearl-red paint
Then clasped the fingers close the while the kiss,
Warm as fire and pure dew
Thrilled your heart and all its restful heavenl
Say If he had cared-would you!

Interesting Sketch of the Great John LIS

Kew York Press.
Some elderly members of the sporting fra
ternity, assembled in an uptown bar-room a few
evenings ago, were engaged IN discussing the
all-absorbing topic of John L. Sulivans capti-
walton of the Prince of Wales.
AZ wonder said one now that so many
honors have been thrust upon him, if he will pay

formed the sole and entire population of a place
called Bearhaven, in the County Cork. From
time immemorial there Sullivaus, and
only Sullivans, in that part of the country.

'!Nobody could ever find out" continued the
narrator. LAS long rs any one living there
could remember the Sullivans were in posses
sion of the place They were so numerous that
the ordinary Christian names of Pat, John,
Mike, and so on. had to represent ten TO twenty
OF the clan, and there was great difficulty in
distinguishing one from others Of the same frat

What was the matter with getting names
from the Biblef asked an incredulous one.
"Well, you might we'll ask an Irshman 10

THE people. however, who had business with
the Sullivan clan resorted to designating them
by the places they lived at, near. For in

known as Sullivan of the Hill. Sullivan Of the

Sullivan the Black Stick. and hundreds Of other
such titles"
There seemed to be only one of them who
might claim honor in his title. was remarked.
"You mean Honest Sullivan. There wero a
good deal better men than he there, for as it
turned out his name changed He was so

was willing to take his word for almost any

Buffalo Express
On account OF the conflicting reports cent out
by wire from Albany as to the condition OF
Hon. Daniel Manning who lately suffered what
is said to be second stroke OF paralysis.
Mayor Manning, his brother. was asked yester-
day IL he could say positively what the sick
mans condition was. He replied that he was
not directly informed whether thin second attack
was from paralysis not A letter received on
Tuesday from his nephew stated that his
brother was quite ILL., but that he was in q COM
Portable condition and sat up part OF the time
From this Dir. Manning infers that his brother
was not in a critical condition when the letter
was written and from the fact that he has re-
ceived nothing by wire since that time he takes
it for granted that no particular change for the
worse has taken place.
Mr.. Manning referred sadly to the breaking
down of his brothers vigorous constitution by
the work he obliged to do in Washington.
When he went there there nowhere a
stronger or more healthy man than be. Mr..
men he had to meet, and as the Secretary of tho
terms with the President, he was made TO bear
the brunt of this pressure for Office which the
army of placehunters put upon the new admin

nightly glad to leave the Elysee. She went
thither from her modest quarters in the the Rue
ST Arnaud with reluctance, and it was her love
of quiet and retrement rather than her hus-

there the reverse Of festive. Nine Grevy was
the daughter of a wealthy tanner Of Narbonne,
of the name of Fraisse, and her mother belonged
one of the oldest and most respected families in
the neighborhood. Nine Fraisse was left u widow
at comparatively early age, and she subse-
quently encountered reverses which reduced her
fortune to the barest competency. She moved
with her daughter to Paris, where NJ. Grevy,
then young and briefless barrster, made her
acquaintance. Six months later he was Mile.
